Why did Watergate make the president of the United States forced to resign?

Among the American presidents known to China, Nixon certainly ranked first. Because he was the first American president to visit China, the famous ping-pong diplomacy was successfully completed during his term of office. However, Nixon's real fame in the world naturally lies in his voluntary resignation. A good president wouldn't do that. Why did he resign? Is there a bigger company that wants to poach people? In fact, all this has something to do with Watergate. It can be said that now we say that the incident was inspired by Nixon.

1. What is Watergate?

Watergate incident was not Nixon's water affair, but an out-and-out political scandal and election fraud. This incident completely ruined Nixon's political future and had a great impact. Nixon was still very successful. At that time, the United States was mired in the Vietnam War, and Nixon pulled it out of its misery. During the Cold War, Nixon maintained a calm attitude and eased the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union. Even between China and the United States, the possibility of establishing diplomatic relations has emerged.

However, he can't escape the American presidential election every four years. 1968 as the president. Will 1972 stand for election? According to his performance, there seems to be no problem in winning. But everyone wants to take a reassurance, right? You also want to know the answer in advance. For this reason, Nixon began to get confused. He is the leader of the party, so he plans to get the campaign plan of his opponent's Democratic Party by eavesdropping. At that time, the headquarters of the Democratic Party was in Watergate Building, so the main destination of this eavesdropping was naturally arranged in Watergate Building. It happened!

Second, it's all caused by outsourcing!

So Nixon handed it over to his own security adviser, McChord. This McChord is a very unreliable person. It is estimated that he has got the project of 1 10,000, and plans to take 2 million management fees and outsource the rest to others. Under the layers of outsourcing, this matter actually fell into the hands of several illegal immigrants. The most interesting thing is that these people are all from Cuba. Dude, the Cuban missile crisis is only a few years old. This is destroying Nixon!

So it was successfully exposed in these unprofessional hands. 1972 June 17, after turning off the lights in the office, Democrats suddenly found something flashing in the office. The shocking thing was finally discovered. With the exposure of the bug, Democrats immediately blacked out the building and arrested five suspects, including McChord.

Third, shattered glass, as a result, Nixon was hit in the face many times.

When Nixon learned that the news was leaked, he immediately launched a public relations strategy. He told the people all over the country: this matter has nothing to do with me and this government. I've sent someone to investigate. That is, after the incident, Nixon was eligible for re-election, but he was already in a state of narrow victory. Nixon thought it was over? It is a matter of course that the Democratic Party cannot miss such a good opportunity.

Just as Nixon Group celebrated its great victory, several anonymous letters were sent to the court, saying that Watergate was not over yet! So Congress immediately set up an investigation team to investigate Watergate. The phenomenon of dog eating dog appeared immediately. At first, McChord refused to admit or even lied that he was a CIA employee. However, after a period of questioning, I didn't know that the sinister MacDonald finally gave up Dean.

Fourth, become angry from embarrassment, and the result is wrong step by step.

Nixon didn't know that Dean had betrayed himself at that time, and even solemnly held a press conference, saying that he knew nothing. It was all his pig teammates who messed around and repeatedly stressed one thing: I am innocent! However, regarding the eavesdropping problem, the investigation team has thrown out a new blockbuster. That is, Nixon installed eavesdropping devices in the White House office for a long time after taking office.

This is enough for Nixon to drink a pot, but Nixon's mentality is really strong. He wiped a sweat and began to defend eavesdropping: eavesdropping is for national security and is a legal act! Since President Roosevelt, we have had this hobby as presidents! What? The investigation team is not an idiot and doesn't want to hear his nonsense. They immediately asked Nixon to pull up all these videos. Nixon was finally a little at a loss. The wicked complained first and took the matter to court, hoping that the court could handle it properly.

I thought the president's face was big enough As a result, most judges in the court said that the president must also be bound by law, so they asked Nixon to hand over the tape! Nixon finally couldn't back down, and he became angry from embarrassment. As president, he ordered the dismissal of prosecutor Cox who investigated Watergate. Isn't there no money here?

If you don't know Cox, there are still some people who are willing to believe you. If you touch him, the whole American media will fall to the ground and start accusing Nixon. Even students protested, and the House of Representatives planned to impeach Nixon. There is not much time left for Nixon.

Outcome: I persisted in the end and finally became the first president of the United States to resign voluntarily.

You know, Nixon has been re-elected at this time, so his attitude towards this matter is very stubborn. When the court asked him to hand over the video, Nixon actually destroyed all these things and handed over a pile of waste residue to the court. This is really a great shame, so on June 25th, 1974, the U.S. House of Representatives released all the evidence of Nixon's impeachment, which directly led to Nixon's continued humiliation as president. So Nixon resigned on August 8 of that year and picked a good day. Good for you.
